What Besma Bashier is doing

Cape Town, 28 April 2009 - by Bianca Gubalke

After twittering from the roof what I am doing, here’s what interests me much more…:

Today is Emigration Day for our friend Besma Bashier and her family - on Tuesday, 28 April 2009 the plane takes off in Amman straight to sunny California… and a new life begins.

If you’ve followed the Interview a week ago on Touch Vision Talk, you know what this big, important step means to Besma and her future plans of creating an Immigration Service - or an Emigration Service… whatever her choice based on a thorough keyword analysis will be.

But for the moment the entire Focus paired with Hope, Fears and great Expectations is directed on the “new world”. Our thoughts and prayers are with her… and of course I had to do a Spontaneous Sketch . . .

Besma Goes West - Spontaneous Sketches 9

… and here’s a 1:1 detail:

Besma Goes West (Detail)

While such a decisive and complex continental and cultural move takes time, Besma does not need to worry about her Online Business and Google rankings as the Ycademy Team will be looking after her… and she’s placed extremely well! No worries!

Have a safe trip… and soon we will speak again!

What I am doing . . .

Cape Town, 27 April 2009 - by Bianca Gubalke
Social Media Marketing is the big buzz on the Internet - Facebook, YouTube, MySpace - and now, at this past weekend’s brilliant beginning on the next Ycademy Seminar Cycle on Social Media Marketing, Twitter.

You Tweet, you Twitter, you are Twittering (…just watch you don’t become a twit…) - and most importantly, all you want to know… ooops, no, you don’t want to know anything at all, you just make a terrific statement:

“What I am doing” dot dot dot

Well, as you’re not asking I will tell you… and guess what? I’ll do it my way. . . in a “Spontaneous Sketch” - what else?

Bianca Gardening - Spontaneous Sketches 8

The winter has come to the Cape of Good Hope at the Southern tip of Africa - today this meant a beautifully warm, sunny day without any wind - perfect for spending some quiet and yet highly productive time in the garden… Especially with no connections working the way they should… they sort of do… they don’t… like a blinker on a car…

Thank Heavens for my Secret Garden. . .

Network Society

Technology enhances the development of our 21st century Network Society where everyone can be directly linked with everyone and where everyone is ultimately controlled by … everyone. (The small village principle).

Online Personal Data Profiles, behavioral profiles, links and access, connections, it’s all working into the same direction and it looks a if, with the rise of the network society, we program its fall, unless we can get rid of the emotional baggage we are dragging with us.

Today we may feel that Google or Facebook or other large network owners play the role of the Big Brother like did earlier the KGB, CIA, StaSi or such like organizations set up by the political power in place to keep the elements of society on put. Today, the local administration knows less about its subjects than Facebook and such like networks and a shift of power is noticeable in as much as influence, mind control and opinion leadership is concerned.

Communication

Democracy online

Social Networks can constitute a great counter power if they are directed into the right future. Social networks could only expand in a world where humans feel restricted, unsatisfied and lacking freedom of expression or communication. Social Networks also put away social barriers which may lock people into a social cast system selecting according to economic, beauty, ‘popularity’ and such like criteria. Popularity in Social Networks found a new definition.

In many ways democracy is when the power is with the people and when people can contribute to the direction social and political evolution will take. Elections are too slow of a process to satisfy peoples fast changing opinions. It’s not about electing leaders, it’s more about single issues where people want to have their say.

Politicians, elected leaders can be influenced by public opinion. Polls don’t do the trick really anymore since the crowd on Facebook becomes more representative and influential than any Poll. Leaders such as Barack Obama or the French President Sarkozy have noticed that and draw conclusions from this shift of social behavior by building personal networks in Facebook and such like.

The Question is: are Social Networks used and abused by their owners or will they in the future continue to allow allow free networking, expression and unbiased publishing of opinions?

If yes, then we may move forward to the past, where democracy was based on permanent consultation with constituents. An interesting Concept!

Get rid of your Emotional Trash

A hypothetical Network Society, where virtual and physical become one requires however to break down a few more barriers, namely on the emotional side of things.

The notion of Privacy has not much room in such a society, where everything is publicly exposed. Exhibition of your soul is the name of the game, abandon of your emotional foot print and identity to be replaced by … showtime. Life plays on stage where we manage the profile, looks and behavior, where we style our personal exhibitionism in function of likability factors and where the rat race consists in beating the competitors on behavioral and personal profiling schemes as stored and defined in the data bases of large networks such as Facebook.

Sensitivity about privacy, about what is right and what is wrong, about personal preferences will change. Tolerance levels will change and online ghettos will expand. Tomorrow you will not need to commit murder and physical war to eliminate your enemy, you blast him from the face of Facebook with a few mouse-clicks.

Tomorrow, if you are not like a dog on the leash of Social Networks and all your ‘friends’ there, you will be a nobody, a sad existence somewhere between a plant and an animal. Cybermen will form the ‘real society’ and only who is connected and traceable has a chance of participating in this new society.

New opinion leaders will emerge and use and abuse the new power; not intelligence and vision will dominate but showtime and marketing, demagogy and mind control will prevail. The power of expression and communication will have to become a main topic at school. Forget about your sensitivities, just go out and fish in the huge pool and build your own little society or adhere to other mini societies to take your due spot in this new world.

Is this the world you want to build and live in tomorrow?

The Fall of the Network Society

The great idea about the Cyber Society hurts itself on an important stumbling block, at least for the time being: we are humans with a certain genetic and emotional profile. Human needs are, at least for the time being, not restricted to life on stage and there is more between heaven and earth than just a personal and behavioral online profile serving as connector between unlimited numbers of other cyber-profiles.

Life on stage has this particular thing: once on stage, everyone profits from initial goodwill. From there, you can only lose, as soon as you talk, sing, write or express yourself in any possible way. Your contributions to cyber-society can back-fire faster than you shoot and your future, also in low-tech environments may be jeopardized because of inappropriate content you may have loaded or inappropriate content being made available about you online.

The power of Social Networks may well become a matter of public concern and state intervention will be the consequence. Interestingly, the state is well advised to initiate the move using … social network marketing.

Socal Network Marketing consists in finding a way of influencing masses towards or against issues of concern. Mobilizing the masses through social networks will allow public authorities to gain the power back as only the public powers will be able to protect individual social network users from the abuse of exactly those features which have lead to the rise of social networks.

For the time being, let’s enjoy them and experiment with daily new features and applications allowing people to connect and to stay in touch. And let’s learn how to publish our profiles and messages in an efficient way on Social Networks and our own sites.

At a later stage we must become more critical and select well, which applications we should use to serve OUR purpose best. Our kids will need our best guidance!

Social Media Marketing Ycademy Seminar

Social Media Marketing Automated

Social Media require a good input of time. Be it Blogs, Social Networks or any other Web 2.0 platform where personal involvement is required, the time factor plays an important role as in any human relation based context.

Marketing involving social media requires therefore a good dose of planning and a solid concept.

Targeting

Social Media allow targeting based on internal search tools. Searching means: you have to know to know your targeted keywords, login, search and then invite people to join your list. It’s an active push approach.

This approach takes too much time, namely when you are involved in multiple networks.

The second approach would be: be open to anyone who wants to join your list and make yourself available under the search terms corresponding to your goals.

This is a passive, pull approach.

Screening

When targeting actively, we do the screening when typing our keywords and phrases into the search tool; when targeting passively we are available for all those who are searching for the keywords linked to our profile. In this latter case the screening is done without our personal active involvement and we don’t need to have a case by case approach.

Automated screening, where our profile attracts interested people via the internal search engine is my preferred method as it does not require any additional tasks to be added to my daily work load once I have set up my account on a social networks.

Pipeline

Once we are available via the search engine, we then have to offer to interested people what they are looking for. To make the pipeline efficient, we need to make sure that we offer the shortest possible link to what people are searching for, and that’s a link to our web site, blog, online publication outside of the social network.

Follow-up

Our website allows readers to comment and subsequently we can follow up on those comments as the case may be. Or we offer an opt-in to our newsletter which allows yet another way to follow up or we just offer a contact form and or a call me button and the communication hooks are thus in place.

YORGOO Press Unique Automated Social Network Marketing Engine

YORGOO Press has added and implemented this week-end its new Social Media Marketing Module. The occasion was the Ycademy Online Seminar which allowed to test the resulting automated communication streams. The results are smashing.

How it works:

You post an article to your YORGOO Press. the post triggers a Twitter entry to your wall and all the friends walls you post to. It then triggers an entry into facebook, becoming available to facebook prospects and friends as well. The concerned entry is a 140 letter Twitter format entry with a link back to your original article on your YORGOO Press.

In social networks, people can find the entry and click on the link and visit your site straight away.

Or, they can comment on facebook or Twitter, which will trigger an feed back to your YORGOO Press or any other site of yours, which created there a new blog entry you can now comment or react to…which in its turn triggers again a Twitter entry and a facebook entry … and you have just created the perpetuum mobile. In my case I use for SN returns my U Q Me Site.

New YORGOO Press Features

YORGOO Press is an attractive website with exciting features providing visitors with an interesting surfing experience. We have added a media viewer which allows to view images, videos and listen to music on a fast opening overlay based media viewer without reloading the page which allows to view images in original size without the usual limits imposed by web site layouts. Spectacular views Guaranteed. Click on the thumbnails below at the bottom of the post for a demo.

YORGOO Press links directly to Social Networks such as facebook and Twitter and generates automatically the above described streamlined Communication Flow.

YORGOO Press provides users automatically with quality content articles from authority authors which are automatically imported and can then be edited for publishing purposes to match the publishers requirements, targets and objectives. The module drags content from a large article data base 9hundreds of thousands of articles to choose from) into YORGOO Press. the selection is made via a category selector. The import is based on a timer and allows up to 10 articles to be imported per day.

Automated Google Map integration with just one mouse-click is now possible in blog posts and static pages.

YORGOO Press has advanced to the finest publishing framework online, making ultimate technology accessible to ordinary people achieving extraordinary things.

Impact on search engines

Test articles posted during the seminar had immediate impact as well as on social networks as on search engines. Interesting progress we noticed namely on the sites from Larrie Perkin, Joe Cettina, Alejandra Neri and Zo Nicholas.

We also noticed, that our South African friends were somewhat neglected by Google and the indexing of new content took longer than for Europeans or Americans. This concerns namely Bianca Gubalke, Hanno Coetzee and Eileen Cupido. In fact connection problems in South Africa prevented Eileen for hours to log on to the seminar.

Ute Schaedler as as usual: Speedy Ute!

Boruch Rappaport from Israel had a surprisingly good line yesterday and Felisa Ryan just consolidated her Google number 1 position.

New YORGOO Press Pricing

YORGOO Press basic version remains at $ 67. The upgrade installation of the new module is charged $50. A new complete YORGOO Press install costs $127. Please contact Bianca for more details at bianca(at)ycademy.com.

Your biggest Capital Online

Ycademy Seminars build your biggest Capital Online

Cape Town, 26 April 2009 - by Bianca Gubalke

The question you may be asking now is obviously: what can my biggest online capital be?

Like millions of other Online Marketers and Networkers you are Working from Home and hoping to make money - sooner or later. Promises abound, delivery is another story… but Rome wasn’t built overnight either and there just seem to be so many rags-to-riches success stories floating through the virtual world that - sooner or later and as everything online is a numbers’ game anyway - it’ll be your turn, you’ll get there too.

Clearly, you want to get there… the question is when and how?

So you keep turning your wheels like a hamster in a cage… unless something really Magical happens and you meet a more than virtual fairy like Alejandra Neri or Laetitia Paris who whisper that magic word and … if you add action to the magic… it will get you out of that viscious circle of frustration and lost hope onto the “Path tpProfitability” where you will learn in a professional and down-to-earth way how to build your online business like the big boyz do today - with a view on the future.

That magic word is . . . Ycademy! YCADEMY SEMINARS to be exact.

Ycademy Business Building Seminars are not new as they’ve been educating professionals since years - people who have brought their offline businesses successfully to the Internet - but what is always new, in fact the newest, the latest, the hottest cutting-edge technology is the Content each Ycademy Seminar offers, teaches and delivers - as proven daily on… Google.

Yes! In Internet terms everything is measured in terms of your presence on Google - meaning at the top of Google, page ONE… possibly page two… or simply your… non-existence.
Like it or not, believe it or not… your biggest Capital Online now and especially in the future is… Your Profile!

Is Your Profile on Google?

Is Your Profile on Google?

Ycademy Seminars help you build your biggest Capital Online

Like anything of value, building your profile online is a process… it’s not done overnight and it needs expert guidance. However, with the visionary leadership, extraordinary knowledge and scripting skills by Yorgo Nestoridis a number of determined Internet Marketing professionals who continuously followed the monthly Ycademy Seminars have achieved extraordinary results with high visibility on Google on just any keyword that’s being targeted.

On our “Path to Profitability” over the past 2 years more or less, we have added - to our simple and successful traditional marketing method via YORGOO -, Search Engine Marketing and with it, Blogging.

The result?

Firstly, as mentioned above, each and every truly active Seminar participant now has a number of highly efficient Blogs in terms of top rankings on Google, all based on the unique Semiomantics Scripts.

These include :

1. Personal Name Blogs - to brand your name, in other words your profile - like Bianca Gubalke;

2. YORGOO Blasters like Hosting South Africa to show your ads where people are looking, meaning on page 1 on Google… and

3. YORGOOpress-based Online Newspapers like Touch Vision Talk as a brand-new vehicle for personal content around your business to create and build your Authority within a certain field of expertise, and to generate income through the integrated advertising platform for own products and services or by selling advertising space to third parties.

Secondly, we have created a Publishing Network that we can truly be proud of: it is so powerful that it can get any website where it wants to be, when it wants it.

Think of a search term like “Working From Home News” with hundreds of millions of returns - we achieved top positions within days. Think of a search term like “Cars“, “Business Market Watch London” etc etc - here as everywhere in life it’s about FOCUS - and if we do so, and as we have seen day-in day-out throughout our research and observations following each campaign, we hit the target. Spoton!

So, with Ycademy we clearly not only achieved our high goals, but went beyond them!

Resume…

Ycademy Seminar participants are all perfectly equipped to generate leads, establish a smart Profile, build Authority, attract readers and customers and bring their ads to peoples’ attention, meaning where they hang out, where they accept to find them.

You note the little nuance?Accept… permit…

The winds have changed and people no longer want to be hit over the head with advertising. They want to spend quality time - whatever that means in their own understanding - and they want to communicate with people concerning matters of their interest. Today, they choose where to go and the delete or block-button are just as close at hand as zigzagging through TV channels to find a hook that draws us in, that keeps our attention.

So as our goal is to further promote OUR brand and bring our blogs infront of a maximum of people, the question is:

Where do they hang out?
How can we reach them in a way that they are drawn to our Blogs?
How can we do this without losing our time?
How can we do this without being abused?

Social Media Marketing

The answer is: Social Networks, genre Facebook, MySpace, Twitter.
That’s where people are today, that’s the biggest pool to fish from as we’ve clearly seen in the Barack Obama example.

But Barack Obama spent millions on just that; he had special staff to bring all those people to his website - from inside the Social Network - Facebook - to outside… to HIS website.

That’s the principle - that’s what we have to achieve with our means, meaning a similar result with a small budget.

Not surprisingly, the topic for the Ycademy April 2009 Seminar - that ended just an hour ago and has me still spell-bound writing this spontaneous article at 1 am in the morning - was a very ambitious one, namely:

Working From Home with CNN

What a Spectacular Publishing Concept!!!

Accordingly, all Seminar participants elaborated their personal publishing concept involving social media. During highly intensive and satisfying Implementation Workshops the different elements of the concept were built, implemented and published. All Seminar participants learned how to use social networks and large publishers to promote business, services and products in a global, worldwide and meaningful way.

As usual no easy task… but a challenge everybody engages in over the next episodes of the YCADEMY 2009 Seminar cycle… for sure a privilege of extreme benefit for all participants and with phenomenal results to be seen - what else!

The bookings for the Ycademy May Seminar on 30 and 31 May 2009 are already flying in - what better proof for their efficiency and the unique and future-oriented spirit of a fantastic Team!

Oh yes… the focus then will be on the Monetization… It just all seems to flow… as it should.

As you see, while your biggest Capital Offline may be your Knowledge, meaning everything you ever invested within YOU - its perfect reflection online is undoubtedly… Your Profile.

So take good care of it - best with Ycademy!

Jacob Zuma New President for South Africa

Jacob Zuma New President for South Africa

Cape Town, 26 April 2009 - by Bianca Gubalke

Congratulations: the fourth democratic and peacefully conducted elections in South Africa are over with Jacob Zuma being the new president of our mutually cherished Rainbow Nation - as expected.

A triumphant victory for the ANC - even without attaining the 2/3 majority many had hoped for… and others had feared in view of the power it would have given to change the Constitution unilaterally… a Constitution that in my view is simply brilliantly drafted and just needs to be implemented - fullstop.

“A person is a person through other persons” - African Idiom

Steering a multi-cultural vessel through the prevailing times with huge economic changes taking place all around the planet is no easy task and while a president is one thing - and in my eyes the first servant of his people - a country is about its people… people talking to people… and people are a mosaic of individuals - and it’s up to these indivduals to stand together and build their nation. Napoleon, Gandhi, Mandela - politically speaking, the world has always been moved or shifted by strong personalities - be it for the good or the bad… but they stood on the shoulders of others who remain unnamed, uncelebrated, yet served their purpose in ploughing the way forward and helping great minds and leaders to sprout, grow and take their place in the limelight - to lead, to give, to serve - and yes, to destroy. But they couldn’t have done so alone - if we are in the ‘knowing’ we are all part of the decision, our attitude steers future developments and evolution and we all share the responsibilies.

Bianca Gubalke Spontaneous Sketches 7

The elections are over and Jacob Zuma - who has been the most outspoken in his criticism of Robert Mugabe’s autocratic rule that destroyed one of Africa’s most beautiful, highly productive and immensely wealthy countries - a country that supplied food for Africa and Africans: Zimbabwe, says he has no time to lose:

“This is a time to bury uncertainty, pain and tension. We cannot afford to dwell on the negative, we have work to do.”

YEBO - let’s go do it!

The heart of any good business is generating good leads

Leads enable a person to build their business. They are the one true way of getting to the top of any online business. Without them even the best of businesses can not survive. A business that does not focus on lead generation will soon be out of business. The key is to understand how to generate good leads and put this knowledge into action.

A lead is the name and information for a person who is a possible customer or team member. There are many different types of leads. Basically, the best leads are qualified leads. Qualified leads are the names of people who have expressed an interest in the business or products. They have either requested information or otherwise made it known that they are interested in
